Two lasers, one red (with wavelength 633.0 nm) and the other green (with wavelength 532.0 nm), are mounted behind a 0.150-mm sli

t. On the other side of the slit is a white screen. When the red laser is turned on, it creates a diffraction pattern on the screen.
a. The distance y3,red from the center of the pattern to the location of the third diffraction minimum of the red laser is 4.05 cm. How far L is the screen from the slit? Express this distance L in meters to three significant figures.
b. With both lasers turned on, the screen shows two overlapping diffraction patterns. The central maxima of the two patterns are at the same position. What is the distance Δy between the third minimum in the diffraction pattern of the red laser (from Part A) and the nearest minimum in the diffraction pattern of the green laser?

Answer:

a.3.20m

b.0.45cm

Explanation:

a. Equation for minima is defined as: sin \theta=\frac{m\lambda}{\alpha}

Given m=3,\lambda=6.33\times 10^-^7 and \alpha=0.00015:

#Substitute our variable values in the minima equation to obtain \theta:

\theta=sin^-^1 (\frac{3\times 6.33\times 10^-^7}{0.00015})\\\\\theta=0.01266rad

#draw a triangle to find the relationship between \theta, y \ and L.

tan(\theta)=y/L               #where y=4.05cm

L=y/tan(\theta)=3.20

Hence the screen is 3.20m from the split.

b.  To find the closest minima for green(the fourth min will give you the smallest distance)

#Like with a above, the minima equation will be defined as:

sin \theta=\frac{m\lambda}{\alpha}, where m=4 given that it's the minima with the smallest distance.

sin \theta=\frac{4\lambda}{\alpha}\\\theta=sin^-^1 (\frac{4\times 6.33\times 10^-^7}{0.00015})\\\\\theta=0.01688rad

#we then use tan(\theta)=y/L to calculate L=4.5cm

Then from the equation subtract y_3 from y:

4.50cm-4.05cm=0.45cm

Hence, the distance \bigtriangleup y is 0.45cm

A light wave moves from diamond (n= 2.4) into water (n= 1.33) at an angleof 24°. what angle does it have in water?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2      Snell's Law       (θ1 is the angle of incidence)

sin θ2 = n1 / n2 * sin θ1

sin θ2 = 2.4 / 1.33 * sin θ1

sin θ2 = 1.80 * .407 = .734

θ2 = 47.2 deg

A pendulum is lifted to a certain height and then released, which causes the
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Answer is C

Explanation:

Let's say the pendulum starts swinging from its max height from the left. It then will go down and reach the equilibrium position, this will make it lose GPE while gaining KE (the loss in GPE = gain in KE). At the equilibrium position it has the max KE (max velocity) and minimum GPE. After passing the equilibrium it then starts to head up to the max height on the right, the pendulum gains GPE while losing KE and at the top will have minimum KE while having max GPE. Meaning throughout its joruney the total energy remains constant as
Total energy = KE + GPE

I have attached a simple diagram below, the y axis is the energy and x axis being the time (where t = 0 is the pendulum starting from max height left of the equilibrium). The green curve the the GPE and blue curve is KE. Red line shows that at all times the energy is constant.
